And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the [world] to come.

And {G2532} whosoever {G3739}{G302} speaketh {G2036} a word {G3056} against {G2596} the Son {G5207} of man {G444}, it shall be forgiven {G863} him {G846}: but {G3739} whosoever {G1161}{G302} speaketh {G2036} against {G2596} the Holy {G40} Ghost {G4151}, it shall {G863} not {G3756} be forgiven {G863} him {G846}, neither {G3777} in {G1722} this {G5129} world {G165}, neither {G3777} in {G1722} the world to come {G3195}.

One can say something against the Son of Man and be forgiven; but whoever keeps on speaking against the Ruach HaKodesh will never be forgiven, neither in the `olam hazeh nor in the `olam haba.

Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the one to come.

And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but whosoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in that which is to come.
